  • Learning from student experience

    Open AccessKaren Buckley, Suzanne Stone et al.ARTICLEIrish Educational Studies2021

    In March 2020, Irish universities closed their doors and teaching, learning and assessment moved online, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper arises from a Dublin City University (DCU) research study with a three-fold purpose: Examine the sudden transition of large classes (100+ students) from face-to-face teaching and learning to remote online provision from the perspectives of staff and students.Contextualise these perspectives by reviewing…

  • Civil Society

    Karen Buckley, Mark Juergensmeyer et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Global Studies2018

    For all its myriad debates, interpretations, and discussions, research on detailing and imagining civil society, global civil society, and associated social relations is constrained in how it conceives global social relations. There is confusion as to whether civil society and global civil society refer to an analytical concept or an actually existing reality or both simultaneously. This chapter adds a missing dimension to these discussions throu…

  • Space, Social Relations, and Contestation

    Open AccessKaren BuckleyARTICLEAntipode2018References: 31

    The 2013 and 2015 World Social Forums in Tunis, Tunisia hosted thematic “climate spaces” for the first time. This article examines the extent to which these spaces are constitutive of a form of “transformative peacebuilding” aiming to transform social relations and eliminate the structural violence of the world capitalist economy. Both the theoretical and practical activities of civil society at the climate spaces are shown to be transformative b…

  • The Making of the Global Working Class in Contemporary History

    Karen BuckleyARTICLEContemporary British History2014References: 7

    E. P. Thompson's work on the making of the English working class is recalled in this paper for its continued relevance to historical materialist perspectives on global movements and class formations. Much commentary on Thompson's work confirms divisions between a first and second British New Left and largely confines the working class to an insular, English phenomenon, one which may present significant insight to a particular account of historica…

  • Global Civil Society and Transversal Hegemony

    Karen M Buckley, Karen BuckleyBOOKGlobal Civil Society and…2013

    There has been clear recognition of tendencies towards uncritically celebrating resistance and the need for critical appraisal within the literature on globalization and contestation. This book provides a conceptual history of global civil society and a critical examination of the politics of resistance in the global political economy. It uses a dialectical method of analysis to illustrate the conceptual stasis of mainstream approaches to questio…

  • Global Civil Society

    Karen BuckleyARTICLEGlobalizations2013Cited by: 4References: 34

    This paper maps out the potential of a Gramscian conceptualisation of global civil society for understanding global resistance to neoliberal globalisation and contemporary global governance. First, the principal features of contention between contemporary representations of global civil society in studies of global resistance are examined. A predominant focus on perpetuating the division between normative and empirical conceptualisations is reori…

  • The World Social Forum

    Owen Worth, Karen BuckleyARTICLEThird World Quarterly2009Cited by: 9

    Since its inauguration in 2001 the World Social Forum (wsf) has been heralded as an ‘open space’ for civil society in which the disparate groups that make up the anti-globalisation movement can gather and ‘articulate’ possible alternative worlds. This article regards as unconvincing the strategic aspirations of the wsf to contest neoliberal hegemony and propel a multilayered counter-hegemonic project of the form (to quote Machiavelli and Gramsci)…
